Isis Temple was discovered by builders in Banha

Traces of an ancient Egyptian temple built for Egyptian Muslims, Isis was discovered by construction workers in a housing project in the city of Banha, the capital of Qalyubiya Governorate.

The workers informed the Ministry of Archeology and the agency sent a group of archaeologists to the discovery site at Tall Atreeb to continue excavating the temple.

The pharaon inscriptions describe the ancient Egyptian diet of the Horus and Isis times shown on the walls and pillars of the temple.

Many experts believe that this discovery has the potential to put the area on a new tourist destination map for Egyptian tourists.

Ahmed Kamal, a professor of History at Banha University, said the area is rich in antiquities although the previous Antiquality Cultural Heritage may have forgotten about the area.

He also said the area is one of the most important archaeological sites in Egypt, dating back to 4,500 years.
